The full posting
Startpage is a private search engine with roots going back to Ixquick in 1998, owned by System1 (NYSE: SST) and competing with DuckDuckGo, Brave and Ecosia. We are expanding from search results into a broader set of consumer products for people who want privacy without giving up a modern experience.
You will be a senior full stack engineer on the Startpage Consumer team, a small North America-based group where every engineer works with AI coding agents as a core part of the job. You know how to run agents in loops, coordinate multiple agents on one problem, and judge their output critically. The stack is mostly Python and JavaScript. You will own features from first commit to production across the web frontend, backend services and data pipeline, shape the architecture as the product grows, and pay down the tech debt that slows us. The team ships weekly, so your work reaches millions of monthly users within days.
